Notably new on the shelves of the big production builders these days are mid-cockpit versions of their popular conventional aft-cockpit boats. To be sure, the trend makes sense. You take a proven hull, organize some new deck tooling, reconfigure the weight distribution and all of a sudden you’ve got a smooth-sailing cruiser with a whole new look and huge gains in interior volume. So it is with the Beneteau Oceanis 400 CC, introduced in the fall of 1995 and by now hands-down a successful addition to the Beneteau fleet. This boat maximizes spaciousness and big-boat accommodations in a 40-foot hull — and all for a relatively low price.
